Answer:

AC Problems : Incurred even at 0 output level, much varying & deviant from cash flows

VC Problems : Doesn't include fixed cost, incomplete expenditure, incomplete financial (accounting) statements.

Explanation:

Average Cost is the cost per unit off output.

Problems with AC as a performance measure :

  • It includes all (fixed & variable cost) average. So, including fixed cost, it is not zero even at zero output level.
  • It's variance analysis during production & cost phases is very complicated.
  • It's result are deviant as evident from cash flows.

Variable Cost is the cost incurred on variable factors of production.

Problems with VC as a performance measure :

  • It doesn't include fixed cost. So, it is not a correct measure of complete total expenditure.
  • Fixed costs are huge. No financial inclusion of them makes accounting information unreliable (for legal purposes)

user100 [1]

Answer:

All the 4 statements are correct.

Explanation:

The International Accounting Standard on Currency changes says that the all the assets and liabilities of the subsidiary must be reported at market value of the asset both at the end of the year and at the time of sale of asset & payment of liability. So this means that the statement a and d are correct statements because the translation gain or loss is reported by using the spot rate which is the market value of the asset in the parent company's currency. Similarly, the statement b and c are correct because at the time of sale of subsidiary assets we are actually recognizing the remeasurement gain or loss by using the spot rate, which is the market value of the asset in the parent company's currency.

forsale [732]

Answer:

(1) understated

(2) understaded

(3) unchanged

Explanation:

The amount of equivalent units will be higher as the ending inventory of work in process will be above of what it should be.

As we have more equivalent untis the cost per equivalent unit will be lower:

\frac{cost}{equivalent \:units}

So both, conversion cost and total cost per equivalent untis will e lower than it should be as are getting divided over a larger amount.

the physical amount of units worked during the month and those which are complete will not be affected as the percentage of completion is an accounting tool to calculate the cost not to count the amount of units in possession
